A loud knock came from Alariel's cabin door almost the first thing in the morning. She had slept well while the swan ship had cruised downstream the calm wide river.
"Captain Kurt here, me and the mates want to have a word with you," came a loud shout through the door. Despite his initial bravado, there were no further calls before Alariel dressed up in simple red robes and headed for the deck. She was greeted by most sailors of the ship that were not occupied by tasks, even the ones who should be sleeping.
"You wish to have a word with me?" Alariel voiced with a calm tone. She would be more than able to burn most of the ship in minutes along with anybody on board so she was not exactly worried about any mutinies. Then again that option was always bad for the morale and she was not able to sail the ship alone.
"We were talking and realized that we haven't really been paid the agreed salary for months now," captain Kurt voiced with nodding from the crowd. Only a few of them were taller than the pure elf with a perfectly sculpted beautiful body.
"And the food been worse than usual too," one of the crew offered with a shout and got responded with more nodding and agreeing grunting.
"The deal was, once we get back. I will pay all I owe you with a bonus," Alariel replied with an eye roll. It was clear the humans had simply been blinded by their greed and they thought they had some leverage over her.
"The thing is, we risked our lives on the orc territory in a glorified leisure ship. So the least we should get is a portion of the spoils you got," Kurt said with a low tone and the stares of the crew intensified like in a pressure attack to push the noble elf to agree.
"Not on the table," Alariel declared before even the captain got to mention shares. She was not going to give a single hard-earned gem away even if she would need to abandon the ship in ashes and take the boat to attempt sailing back on her own.
"I got a good feel of those bags. Must be a small fortune in them. Just one gem to each of us and you would still have more than enough for yourself," Kurt kept talking like he ignored Alariel despite the sweating on his forehead. The elf's green eyes were intensifying and a genuine fear of his head bursting into fire filled him.
"The bags are not on the table but we can talk about additional details to your bonus," Alariel replied with a tone that gave little negotiation room. "I can double your contract bonus."
"Sounds reasonable, enough to get a whore each night for a week," one of the crew pondered out loud.
"Don't be dumb. Just one of those gems will get you one of the top whores back at the city for a month," Kurt flared despite his increased sweating on his bearded face. Despite the moral support from the crew, it almost felt like all threatening heat radiating from the fire mage was aimed at him.
"They aren't that expensive before processing into actual magic gems," Alariel shrugged. "And we would spend weeks picking out gems for all of you and still everybody would get a different value. Some might even get something that is a little better than a rock. We can't know before processing."
"Yeah, but all know the value they can fetch from just about any store at the city right about now," first mate John flared. It immediately made Alariel suspect he was the one who had gotten this idea into the captain's head.
"Final offer, I will triple your contract bonus," Alariel voiced while calculating the price she was willing to promise to placate the men. If she sold using the current scarcity of new magic gems at the city-state, after her craftsmen were done with them, just one of the completed jewels might fetch a high enough price to cover the bonus.
"If you flash your tits like you did to the orcs," one of the crew offered despite hiding behind the crowd. It made Alariel's eyes twitch while her mind blanked for a moment. More than vivid memories of her showing her body to the goblins and orcs filled her thoughts. And along it came a rush she would have wanted to ignore that she had been subjected to while walking naked through their camps to and out of the mining warehouse.
"Coming naked like that, I bet she did far more than flashing," another brave hero hiding behind most of the crew shouted. By now it was clear on their faces that some of them had alternative motivations for agreeing to the aggressive negotiations. Even if the ones who had decided to test the waters were not first on the line to be burned into ash.
"The only way that is happening is if you give up on your bonus and be satisfied by the current pay," Alariel shrugged with a taunting grin on her beautiful face. She had said it out on a whim after accidentally trying to calculate her value. If she was going to let orcs fuck her, the least she could do is to let the humans see her if it gave her financial benefits.
"Is that for more than flashing? Just how much more are we talking about?" the previous brave voice from the back of the crowd shouted. Alariel was barely able to suppress the lewd grin that almost showed on her face from the memories of her bouncing on the orc chief's cock while being stared at by a large crowd of the green brutes. Though there was no way she would start the bargain from something like that.
"Dance around the mast naked for a quarter-hour, I bet you can't buy a dance like that from a noble elf in any brothel," Alariel pondered. At the same time, she was trying to figure out just how much she would save and how much she would be willing to offer. She knew from experience the human sailors would tell all kinds of fucked up stories about her regardless so it would not matter if she could benefit from it.
"No amount of naked elf skin is worth that bargain, no matter how rare," John smirked and most of the crew grunted or nodded in agreement. Though some were clearly thinking about their options.
"Set up a gloryhole, I can jerk all of you once, that should be special enough considering who it is," Alariel offered while memories of what the orcs had done to her kept filling her mind. There was a small but growing part of her that kind of wanted to go back to just have a bit more of raw green meat that she wanted to suppress. But right now humans were the only option present.
There was sudden loud whistling on the deck and some nodding. But not everybody looked satisfied. So there were several more rounds of bargaining that went from anywhere between private lapdances to gangbangs on the deck. All the while Alariel's arousal from all the dirty options was making her own body turn against her mind. Like how bad it would be if she fucked all the humans just this once, it might even be enough to make her forget the orcs... at least for a while.
"Okay, final options, one gem each or public use cumdump for the whole duration of the return trip without bonus," first mate John irked like he had the winning cards. The crew looked extremely excited about this offer and just from the grins on most of their faces Alariel knew they did not really want the gems. She might have denied any kind of gangbangs before but now her body was almost screaming her to accept even this depraved offer. Not to mention the rest of the crew would pressure John to accept if she agreed.
"Fine," Alariel flared while her brain overheated with vivid images. Due to just the sheer amount of time she had gotten to spend with the male sailors during the years she had read more than one book about fucking them. Though still, she had agreed almost by reflex without really thinking. But now that she had done so, it suddenly felt like the cheapest way to get what she wanted.
"Good, now... why are you stripping?" John uttered while Alariel opened some buttons from her dress.
"I don't want to get another robe ruined. I will be back in a moment," Alariel muttered while walking back into her cabin. Wide but confused grins were spreading on the crew's faces. Even John had one.
Behind the closed door, Alariel froze to stare at herself from a mirror for a moment. Her face was heavily blushed and a single drop of rain or something had spilled down her cheek since it definitely was not her saliva.
"W-why did I agree to that? What did I think? Their filthy human cocks... using me... using me to pay their bonus," Alariel panted while removing her robes. "I'm their bonus... I'm the bonus to a bunch of... sweaty human sailors with... tanned muscles."
Only moments later, every pair of eyes dilated when naked Alariel marched to the deck even without her tiara. The only things she wore were a magic string to tie her hair into a ponytail and a pair of simple shoes.
"So here I am, public use cumdump and all that," Alariel voiced while trying to suppress her heavy breathing. Hands were covering her pussy and nipples like she was pretending to have decency despite what she had agreed to. Her words and bare form was enough to send most of the crew into a mindless single direction charge since they were not going to miss their chance to defile the willing beautiful elven noble.
"Order, we will have order, I will not have a fucking orgy tilt this ship," Captain Kurt boomed with enough authority to stop the charge on its tracks. "First Mate, help her into the stairs to ensure order... during public use of Lady Alariel."
"My lady, please lay through the fifth step. I will get you a pillow... to have better rest on the barrel," John voiced while pointing at the steep stairs leading to the quarterdeck. Behind it was several tightly packed barrels that were protected from the sea by an elevated wall that flanked the outer side of the stairs.
"You have a system?" Alariel irked with thin lips. Even if she had agreed to it, she was not going to look happy about it. If she could have her way, none of these sailors would ever learn she actually enjoyed even a moment of anything they would do to her.
